What's going on?

Gretchen said you wanted to talk to me about the patent.

What are you guys doing here?

I went back to them, Donna.

And the reason I asked Stu and Benjamin to be here was so that you know that I didn't shit the bed.

Are you telling me you couldn't get them to back off the lawsuit?

He's telling you we won't be able to patent the Donna at all.

What?

Donna, they weren't authorized to let us partner with them.

That's what I sent you over there to take care of.

I know.

And then they said they would fight us to the ends of the earth.

So I pulled out every trick in the book,

and I got them to make you an offer.

An offer sounds like a buyout.

That's because it is a buyout.

With a special provision that allows us to produce the Donna for in-house use.

That's not good enough.

Donna, we're talking about a lot of money.

I don't care about the money, Stu.

I care that Louis didn't fight for me.

I did fight for you, Donna.

I swear.

They got us dead to rights.

There's nothing more I can do.

Bullshit!

Louis Litt does not roll over for anybody.

He didn't roll over, Donna.

I went over it with Benjamin,

and we can't get the overlap under 30%.

I also ran it by my own attorney,

and he was shocked at what Louis was able to get us.

So you're telling me you want to take it?

We do.

But the Donna wouldn't even exist without you,

and we're partners, so if you don't want to, then we won't.

I'm gonna need to think about it.

Whatever it is, Donna.

Harvey, I know you're in a rough place right now,

but whatever's going to happen with Mike is going to happen.

You've done everything you can,

and I'm tired of putting my months on hold.

What is it?

You know about my product with Benjamin.

I do.

Well, it turns out we have a 32.5% overlap on our software within other companies.

They refused to budge, and Louis said he pulled out every trick in the book to get us this.

Can you get it under 30%?

No. Take the money.

I don't want the money.

Don't I?

I want something more.

And I've never said that out loud,

but I can't pretend that's not true anymore.

What do you mean more?

I don't know.

I guess I'm gonna have to figure that out.

Good night, Harvey.

I'll see you tomorrow at the hearing.

Is that for me?

No. Actually, it's for me.

You're later than usual this morning.

I've been waiting for you.

Donna, about the other night,

I know you said you wanted more,

but before you say anything...

I want to be a partner.

Partner?

Yes.

I figured out what I want,

and I want to be a partner at this firm.

Donna, I don't mean to insult you,

but you're not even a lawyer.

Good.

Because my being a partner isn't about the law.

It's about keeping this firm running,

which I've been doing for as long as I can remember.

I know that, but it doesn't mean that I can get you...

I've given over ten years of my life to this place,

Harvey, and I've done it all from your desk.

All I'm asking is for a seat at the table.

I'll have to ask Lewis about it.

Does that mean that you're on board? you're on board?

I don't know.

It's Mike's first day back.

It's a big ask and on top of all of

that I've decided to tell Lewis that I'm taking full control as managing partner.

Well congratulations Harvey, but which is it?

Lewis?

Mike?

Big ask?

Because I'd hate to think I mustered the courage to do this

and then once you get on that elevator it's out of your mind.

I give you my word I will not forget about it.

Okay.

Donna, do you have a minute?

I need your help.

Of course.

What's going on?

100

Louis is out of control.

101

When Esther got married out of control,

102

or when Harvey made senior partner out of control?

103

Worse.

104

Shit.

105

What did he do?

106

He just went off on the associates.

107

He was abusive and cruel and ugly.

108

Donna, I've never seen a Louis like this before.

109

Rachel, if what you're saying is true,

110

then we need to figure out why.

111

Because with Louis, there's always a reason...

112

Tara broke up with him last night.

113

Oh, my God.

114

I was there when it happened.

115

This is not something that he's going to get over quickly.

116

So what are you saying?

117

I'm saying that I think I should take over the associates until he's able to get his emotions under control.

118

Rachel, taking the associates away isn't exactly going to stabilize him.

119

That's the one thing he has.

120

Yeah, I know that, but I'm telling you,

121

if we're not careful, someone's going to do something to him.

122

And he'll be lucky if it's just suing him.

123

I am trying to be understanding,

124

but I think Rachel should handle the associates for right now.

125

Is that a joke?

126

No, it's not.

127

Well, then, let me explain a little something to you called pecking order.

128

See, I am up here,

129

Rachel's down here, and you don't give dominion over the associates to someone down here.

130

I know that, but I also know that Tara broke up with you last night,

131

and you're not in your right mind.

132

I don't want to hear that name again.

133

Lewis, all I'm saying is,

134

if you don't deal with it,

135

You're gonna keep abusing the associates and then we're gonna have...

136

Okay, Donna, you know what?

137

I didn't want to do this,

138

but I did leave one name off the chart.

139

Me.

140

Rachel.

141

You.

142

So don't you tell me what to do.

143

Luz, I'm gonna let that go because I know you're hurting.

144

But that right there is exactly why I'm right.

145

Because if you're willing to talk to me like that,

146

God help those associates.

147

Donna, unless it's an emergency...

148

It is an emergency.

149

Harvey, I need to know what you're doing about me.

150

Donna, right this second is not the time.

151

It is the time.

152

Because if somebody doesn't do something about Lewis soon,

153

this firm is going to end up being sued by our own associates.

154

I don't have the authority to do anything,

155

and you don't even know what I'm talking about.

156

OK, Donna.

157

You win.

158

You're a partner.

159

I'm a senior partner.

160

You're what?

161

That's right.

162

I gave Harvey a check for half a million dollars.

163

I'm a partner now, Louis.

164

Which means your whole you're up here and I'm down here bullshit?

165

Not anymore.

166

Partner?

167

You're not even a lawyer.

168

Neither are the chief operating officers of four of the top nine firms in the world.

169

This is bullshit.

170

I didn't agree to any of this.

171

I don't care whether you agreed to it or not.

172

You're going to live with it.

173

And I don't give a shit what your supposed title is.

174

I'm not giving up my associates.

175

And if you think you're going to leave this bathroom without giving me the respect I deserve...

176

I'm not giving up my associates.

177

That's enough.

178

Harvey, what the hell kind of s* did you pull?

179

Shut up and listen, Lewis.

180

Donna asked for a seat at the table,

181

and I gave her one.

182

Because when she worked for me,

183

she had my back and would kill anyone coming for me.

184

And when she worked for you,

185

she did the same exact thing.

186

Not to mention, if she left tomorrow,

187

this firm would be a pile of rubble within 15 minutes.

188

So then give her a raise.

189

You don't make her goddamn senior partner.

190

If Jessica were here, she'd tell you to do the same exact thing.

191

Well, Lewis, Jessica isn't here.

192

But I am.

193

Thank you, Harvey.

194

Don't thank me yet.

195

You asked for a vote, you got it.

196

But the person who's gonna decide when that vote is, is me.

197

And I say our first order of business is putting out word that Harvey Specter is the new managing partner.

198

Now, you wanna vote on that?

199

Let's do it.

200

But if it's not unanimous,

201

we're gonna have a big problem.

202

No problem here.

203

What about you, Lewis?

204

You got a problem with me calling the shots?

205

No, Harvey.

206

Hey.

207

I didn't know anybody was moving in here.

208

It looks great.

209

Well, as it turns out,

210

we're getting ourselves a new partner,

211

and they needed a new office, so...

212

New partner?

213

It's fantastic.

214

Shows we're back on our feet.

215

What firm are they from?

216

This one.

217

I don't understand.

218

That's because it hasn't been announced yet,

219

but you're looking at the newest senior partner at Pierce Inspector Lit.

220

Wow.

221

Congratulations, Donna.

222

You must be thrilled.

223

I am.

224

And I know what you're thinking.

225

How can a secretary be made a partner, but I...

226

I wasn't thinking that, Donna.

227

I know how hard you work and how much you mean to this firm and everyone in it.

228

Thanks, Katrina.

229

You're welcome.

230

I'll let you get back to work.

231

I'm not sure I've ever seen you here this late.

232

New office, new hours.

233

I guess so.

234

Katrina, whatever's on your mind,

235

I recommend you just say it.

236

As you know, I am on track to be a senior partner here.

237

In fact, it's one of the main reasons I agreed to come back.

238

I know.

239

I'm not saying Donna doesn't deserve a promotion.

240

I know what she does as much as anyone.

241

I'm just saying making partner means something.

242

And I'm concerned that being one here won't mean what it used to what it used to.

243

What would you have me do?

244

I don't know.

245

I just thought if I was thinking it,

246

it occurred to me that others might be too,

247

and I thought you should know that.

248

Katrina, being a partner here will mean as much as it always has.

249

I'll make sure of it.

250

You've never knocked before.

251

You've never had a door before.

252

I know, and it's a good thing I do, because...

253

You can't be a partner, Donna.

254

What?

255

You can't do that.

256

I have to.

257

I made a mistake.

258

Bullshit!

259

I...

260

I paid you $500,000.

261

You haven't signed the partnership agreement yet.

262

So I can refund your money and...

263

I don't want a refund.

264

I want what we agreed to.

265

I can't do that.

266

You are not a lawyer.

267

And being partner at a law firm, it means something.

268

Inside the firm and out.

269

Which is why I wrote up a new release for you.

270

This says director of personnel.

271

Everybody knows you're great with people,

272

so it'll play out there,

273

but between you and me...

274

No, Harvey, I didn't ask for partner just so I could keep being a superwoman behind closed doors,

275

but to the rest of the world,

276

be a glorified office manager.

277

Partner is off the table, Donna.

278

Then keep my buy-in and make me COO.

279

I can't do that.

280

That's the same as a partner.

281

No, it isn't.

282

Skadden and Zane and Bratt & Gould all have COOs,

283

and none of them are lawyers.

284

How do you know that?

285

Because I never thought you'd make me partner in the first place.

286

Okay, it's a deal.

287

And I keep my vote.

288

Donna.

289

Within these walls, I have a seat at the table.

290

Take it or leave it.

291

Take it or leave it.

292

I'll take it.

293

Thanks, Harvey.

294

You're gonna make a hell of a COO.

295

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
